Hot Spinach Con Queso Dip

Steps

• 1

  Heat a medium-size skillet over medium heat.
• 2

  While the skillet is heating, cut the jalapeno in half lengthwise. To keep things tame, remove the membranes and seeds, using a spoon to scrape them out. If you’d like the dip to be extra spicy, leave the seeds and membranes intact.

  
• 3

  Dice the peppers and onion.

  
• 4

  Add the butter to the skillet and let melt.
• 5

  Stir in the peppers and onions and cook for 3-4 minutes or until softened. Reduce the heat to low and add the cream cheese. Stir until it starts to soften and melt.

  
• 6

  Stir in the pepper jack cheese and continue stirring over low heat until it’s mostly melted.

  
• 7

  Add the milk and stir until smooth and creamy.

  
• 8

  While the cheese is melting, heat the spinach in the microwave according to package directions. Drain well.
• 9

  Stir the spinach, pimentos, and salt into the melted cheese.
